The BBC Radiophonic Workshop

BBC Radiophonic WorkshopThis website was to be originally designed as a source of information for The BBC Radiophonic Workshop, it's members and it's work.  Although all of this information is around on the Internet (somewhere!) this site is meant to bring it all together into a coherent and readable fashion.

Hopefully, the reader will gain an enjoyable insight into this band of musical and electronic geniuses that worked for this BBC Department from 1958 to 1995 (and on).

I hope you enjoy the information presented on this site and if any of it is copyright without the owner's consent, then I apologise - please contact me and I'll remove it.  Most information is © BBC no infringement is intended.

Recent additions to the BBCRW Members Pages are the biographies of the main Radiophonic Workshop members and on the BBCRW Doctor Who Page, a 1 hour radio programme that was dedicated to Delia Derbyshire.

The section is not finished just yet - there are more articles to come - hopefully in the near future!

Author's Blog

There is an Author's Blog too - a chance for the author to let off steam, or generally comment about things that he comes across in everyday life. Amusing, funny, sad, witty and angry...all in one place!  You may read - and you may comment (however you cannot post new items). Comment freely, however bear in mind that comments are moderated before publishing - if I don't like it - it ain't published!!

Audio and Video Clips

There are some audio clips on the website. At the moment, these are fairly restricted to being just Radiophonic Workshop clips (however this may well change!) There's a brief potted history of the Doctor Who theme tune - a fascinating and nowhere near complete subject on the BBC Radiophonic Workshop Doctor Who Page.

Please note that the clips are © their respective owners (mainly BBC) - no infringement is intended.
